FAQs

What is the primary use of the Hultafors SMV 20 Bevel Square?

Its primary use is for accurately copying and transferring angles from one workpiece to another, essential for precise joinery and fabrication.

What material is the blade made of?

The blade is made of durable stainless steel.

How is the blade secured in place?

The blade is secured by a locking screw located at the end of the aluminum stock.

What are the benefits of the milled working surfaces?

The milled working surfaces enhance precision, ensuring more accurate angle copying and transfer.

Is this bevel square suitable for very large projects?

With a 200mm blade, it is suitable for a wide range of common tasks, but may be less practical for extremely large workpieces compared to longer tools.

How should I clean the bevel square?

Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I use this for metalworking?

Yes, the durable stainless steel blade and precise markings make it suitable for many metalworking applications requiring accurate angle transfer.

Troubleshooting

Blade slips when locked

Ensure the locking screw is tightened firmly. Check for any debris in the locking mechanism or on the blade's edge that might prevent a secure lock. If the issue persists, the screw or blade may need adjustment or replacement.

Inaccurate angle transfer

Verify that the working surfaces are clean and free from debris. Ensure the tool is placed flush against the workpieces when measuring and marking. Re-check the blade lock for security.

Difficulty adjusting or locking the blade

Clean the blade channel and the locking screw threads. Lightly lubricate the screw mechanism if it feels stiff. Ensure no foreign material is obstructing the movement.
